*It was just on a plane

"Trina!!?" I yell as I enter the dorm, it was me and Melissa decided to come with me. I dont get why she isn't in the room, I mean in this school once the last bell of the day rings the whole school springs out of their chairs and leaves the premises. Melissa decided to take me around the school so in future I may not get lost since Stranger decided to take the tour out of school.
"Maybe she isn't here," Melissa says as she enters after me, it was really late, school was out a long time ago, sure she was supposed to be available by now.
"But the time, its like past 6 and she isn't here yet, Trina!", I know I didn't wake her up yesterday but I dont think she is still asleep.
Her room is so tempting, I dont know if I should go in or not, what if I see something that will leave me paralysed permanently.
"Oh just go in already Liz, you aren't invading her privacy, on my point of view, you guys now share the same territory",
"No, it won't happen again, the first and last time I did that I s...", I freeze my half finished sentence, I almost spilled it all, I almost told her what happened. I dont even want to think of yesterday. I regret it, I regret why I spoke to him today and totally forgot what happened lastnight. Now I get why he said I saw what I wanted to see, he wasn't dumbfounded enough to not know that rumours hadn't been passed around. He knew that the people I had been talking to would say something about him, but I didn't want to see that at all, I dont even know what to call it. I wish I could call it a sexy show off but no I would never, but actually I just did, forget it. I didn't want to see it, why did he say I wanted to see it?
" What happened?, you can't just freeze on the heated point, come on now keep talking, what happend, hellllo?",
"The supper meal was really delicious its just that I didn't...",
"lalalalh, I dont want to hear it, what happened?" She stops me with her hand and looks at me with a demanding look.
"I saw Leo, I , well, he was half naked, in the girls dorm, actually Janet Alerts room, well that's what she told me."
"Oh, so that's why he came to you during lunch, its really not like him at all, I could just see he sucked in explaining himself, wait now I get it, he was telling you that you should accept who he is, but why would he say that, why the Hell is he acting weird ever since you came here?",She says rubbing her chin, she moves closer to me and looks me up and down, taking in every detail.
" I see why he is acting weird, you are everything, his tryna get you in bed",
"No, no, its because, I ,I, kind of have met him before" I say fiddling with my hands, this topic seems to be taking the wrong turn.
"Oh you know him?, oh I thoug.....",
"It was just on a plane", I enter my room and look around for my favourite book.
"Oh, his been to South Africa?" She curiously asks as she sits herself on my bed.
"Yep, but anyways, do you know this book?, its really nice", I say handing her mine and Leo's favourite book, Beastly, I think that's enough information for today.

" You just made me do homework,"Melissa mumbles looking at her Math homework which was already done. Her book was so blank and empty yet she didn't seem like she was trouble to the teachers. If she isn't trouble I guess there are worse people than her.
"Yah, anyways, today I had promised myself to visit the ring, is it late?, can't we go together",
"What do you want to do there?" Melissa asks as she packs her school books in her bag. Her bag was really unique, it was dark pink with fur all over.
"Skating, I'm a skater" I confidently say smiling at her. Luckily today we didn't get much homework so I left a few books in my locker so my bag may not be extremely heavy.
"You know right the rink is only for Ice Hockey, right?" She asks folding her arms and looking at me. My smile immediately turned into a frown, I guess they don't do skating in this school unless I want to play ice hockey.
"But I dont play ice hockey, I am a skater",
" Eh, there is no difference, you all use the same rink, duh!",Melissa says waving her hand in the air to make it obvious, she is trying too hard.
"Eh, no, There are three Ice Skating Categories, we have Ice Hockey to which you know, we also have Figure Skating which is what I do, its almost like contemporary just on ice, third one is Speed skating, all these sports do not have the same skates at all ou..",
"Ohk I get it, so you are a ballet dancer, on ice" She says walking out the door, I join her as she walks out the passage. Trina was not seen the whole day, maybe tonight she will be seen.
"If you want to call it that, so can we go, please now", I say impatiently, I really wanted to.
" No, we aren't allowed there and today people doing sports have late night training, unless you want to join Ice Hockey but its only a boys team."Melissa says as  I follow her down the passage.
"Late night training?, oh so maybe Trina is also doing late night training, she is a cheerleader right?",
"Psssh not cheerleaders, those bunch of girls have a weak sport. I'm talking about real teams, the Football team, Ice hockey, Soccer even more but not cheer leading, maybe they just sitting on the upper benches cheering for the school Jocks, actually the Football players that dont give a damn.",She mumbles as she enters her room, it actually wasn't that far from mine, maybe three doors away. The smell of smoke welcomes me to her room.
"You smoke?",
"Yes, since 7th grade, please dont tutor me about lung cancer," She says dropping her bag on her bed. Her room wasn't as huge as mine, I think its because she was still a Sophomore living with another Sophomore and I was living with a Junior.
"What about inspection or spring cleaning, actually what do the Seniors say about this?",
"Spray!, duh!,"
"Eh, it doesn't last, bluh!,"I say to her back and she laughs at the last word I said, at least I have someone I can call a friend.
"Do you still want to go to the rink's?",She asks waiting for my response as a cue to leave. I don't have to go anymore since their is no Figure skating, its fine staying with her but I can't handle the cigar smell of her room.
" Not anymore, oh no wait a minute I need to go now!, Leo has my phone, his had it for the two days I have been in this school. I need it now, I have people waiting for my response so badly and....",
"Okay!, calm down, just calm down, unfortunately we aren't allowed there now, its really late, its like 7pm or something, we can get your phone tomorrow, I don't like the Football coach his an extremely grumpy man", She mumbles, I never knew she was scared of someone in this school.
"I really do need my phone, surely my mom has called me, maybe like a thousand time's",
"We will get your phone tomorrow, right now I'm really hungry,"

"Lizzy!, I'm home!!", I hear Trina's loud and ratchet voice yell out. It was past nine and she only arrives now. What time do these dorms close?, actually is it a free world around here?. I push myself out of bed and slip into my huge red gown, its really late for her to be here at this time.
"Lizzy were are you!!?",
"Here I am and its late we need to both sl...wait are you drunk?",
"Pshhh, no,no, actually I'm intoxicated, intoxi, into, long word " She mumbles as she opens her door. I follow after her as she stumbles and I catch her. She drops down and her whole face turns red with veins popping out. That was a signal, she was about to explode, the bathroom is way too far. I grab the bin just in time, and she stuffs her face in it continuously taking out the unwanted substances from her stomach. Her vomit made me want to vomit, the alcohol mixed with garlic and meat...eeerh, don't talk further...
I cover my nose with my gown and inhale my everlasting strawberry smell. I remove the bin from her and push her falling hair away from her sweaty face.
"Let me go throw this out, I'll bring you water", I say lifting her body and helping her walk towards her bed. I leave her lying on the bed and grab the bucket as I leave the room. The passage is so cold and dark, all lights are out. Now I regret even leaving the room, I'm really scared of the dark well outside not in my room. I walk faster, I have that feeling that someone or something is chasing me every time I walk, I really don't want to look back. Trina is really brave, walking around in the dark, well at least she wasn't sobering. It feels like I'm in a real horror movie, a new school, with lights out, I'm just waiting for the zombies to wake up and eat up my brain. Maybe I should stop thinking of scary things, I should think of funny stuff, like Charlotte and Joys weird laughs, oh how I miss them. Annalisa's nasty jokes, Zee and Johns shoutouts, Charmaine's sarcasm. I never thought I would be missing them like this, I even miss my classmates,  I mean David never left me whenever I was last in class, he had the patience to wait. The teacher fearing class, it was so fun back in South Africa, now I'm stuck in Drama and just Drama. I find myself in the bathroom and I empty the small bin. I rinse it and pour some detergents which were left out for I don't know what, the gross smell now smells like lavender and the stains fade away. I rinse it again on the washing base making sure to not miss a stain and  not to dirty my gown. I wipe the bin with a cloth and put wait a while for it the dry up. Whilst drying up I wash my hands and dry them up to. I look at my reflection on the mirror and...oooh, as I remove my hoodie, my plats have risen up a bit. My body shivers and I put my hoodie back on my head. This red gown reminds me of something or someone, maybe its from a horror movie. I grab the bin and walk out the bathroom, oh Trina owes me a lot of explanation tommorow morning.
